Cardano: Why a 10% hike is NOT impossible for ADA

• Cardano fell beneath the $0.5 support on 8th January.
• The bulls were quick to drive a recovery, and some more gains are possible.

Cardano [ADA] has a strong bullish outlook on the lower timeframe price charts. Its recovery from the $0.48 area and the retest of the same as a demand zone was impressive. It set the token up for a rally toward the range highs.

In other news, the launch of the Cardano USDM stablecoin has been postponed. This development could hurt the credibility and value of the project in the eyes of investors.

The 12-hour chart above showed that the market structure was bullish. It broke the previous bearish structure on 8th January when prices climbed above $0.5298.

Additionally, ADA continued to trade within the range (purple) that extended from $0.511 to $0.679.

AMBCrypto looked at the 4-hour chart to understand the impulse move from the $0.48-$0.5 zone. The H4 chart showed a bullish order block in the $0.464-$0.5 zone. After the market structure break, ADA retested this block on 10th January.

The prices proceeded to rally 26% after the retest and fell slightly over the past 20 hours. Just above the mid-range mark at $0.595 is a large supply zone that ADA bulls struggled with since 20th December.

Therefore, bulls expecting a retest of the range highs must be cautious. Traders can look to take partial profits above the mid-range mark. They could exit their long positions upon a move into the $0.65 bearish order block.

The daily active addresses resumed its uptrend
